Hi

Maybe (probably) I'm alone on this one or it already does it but I'm missing the 'how to' part !

Obviously 'preview all' allows you to preview your whole project which is presumably your 'whole' website. That's fine if it is but what If your site is 'broken up' into multiple projects or just 'various sections' that are NOT linked to each other. In either of these cases 'preview all' does nothing apart from show the first page that was in your working window because as there may be no links to other pages you cannot see them.

Suggestion...

When you select 'preview all' some kind of 'floating' or 'added' forward/backward arrows/buttons are overlayed so that you CAN then see all the pages in your 'project' irrelevant on whether they are linked together or not.

Or can it does this already and I'm a real dumbo Big Grin

If the "preview all" button is designed to preview all pages in your project, then how can you expect it to preview pages not in your project?

You can get around this by publishing each project to disk and then pointing your browser to that disk location. This assumes that each project is correctly linked to the others.

lol, even I'm not that thick Big Grin :Larry

I didn't mean pages that are not in your project, they are all in your project but the pages in a particular 'project' have no links connecting them. In other words there may be 10 pages in that 'part' of a project so when you click preview all 10 pages ( in that 'project' ) may be loaded but how do I see them individually if they don't have links to one another ?

You can't; you'd have to view them individually. Unless you published to disk and then pointed your browser to the desired page, just like you would have to do if you published to your site without a link.

I think that's why the Preview panel was added to SSPro and the new SS Beta.

Ah I'd forgotten about that Larry because it doesn't work for me with animations I'd 'hidden it' I just tried it and it doesn't work anyway (!) , the forward backward arrows sometimes work, sometimes don't or just show a blank page.......un surprisingly I've hidden it again as a lost cause !

That sounds like the best soloution Newer , or as Larry says publish to disk and then I just kept clicking on the individual html files !

Hi Andy,
In the preview the arrows don't realy work for me either but you can choose the page from the drop down list aswell.
